How to Add Beets to Your Day Without Feeling Like You’re on a “Diet”
The good news? You don’t have to choke down plain steamed beets every night. Here are easy, delicious ways real people do it:
Quick oven-roasted beets
Wash, wrap whole beets in foil, roast 45–60 min at 400 °F (200 °C). Peel when cool, slice, and keep in the fridge for the week.
5-minute beet smoothie
1 small cooked beet + 1 banana + handful spinach + Greek yogurt + splash of orange juice. Tastes like fruit punch.
Golden beet & goat cheese salad (no red stains on your hands)
Use golden beets if you hate the mess — same benefits,
milder flavor.
Simple pickled beets (lasts weeks in the fridge)
Slice cooked beets, cover with equal parts vinegar + water + pinch of salt/sugar. Ready in 24 hours.
